Cream

Highlights From the Archives

Cream was a crisp, tautly rehearsed band on Monday night in its first full-length concert since 1968. Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass and Ginger Baker on drums sounded as if they had every song mapped out from introductory riff to precise finish. Their voices were strong; their musicianship was impeccable.

A searing three-song reunion of Cream, the British psychedelic blues-rock band that last performed publicly in 1968, was the finale and climax of the eighth annual Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. "If the three of us can be together again," Jack Bruce said, "anybody can be together again."
